The Tribune notes chicks hatched in cold weather are easier to raise with proper brooding gear and feed. It cites Rhode Island Agricultural College where winter students outpaced spring staff in chick survival, sharing a January Rhode Island Red lot raised in a hot water brooder by 20 novices, with no pullorum, vitamin, or UV exposure.
A nostalgic agricultural page describes fermenting molasses in jars to detect codling moths for timing sprays, plus illustrations of a strawed poultry house, an electric heater setup, and labeling young fruit trees with glass bottles. It also highlights creep feeding for pigs to improve growth and market readiness.
Ohio gardeners need not rely only on conifers for winter greenery. Victor H Ries of Ohio State University notes broadleaved evergreens offer a friendly, comforting touch on cold days. The first plant on the list is the evergreen bitterwort, a hardy shrub that attains two to two and a half feet with support, or a climbing vine without it.
Lorain County will not set corn acreage limits under the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program. County and state officials explain that corn is not a major crop here due to diversified farming including vegetables, fruits, poultry and dairy. Officials note the plan aims to keep a balance with small grains and prevent over expansion of corn acreage.
The Soil Conservation Service with four watershed projects and 18 CCC camps in Ohio aims to plant about 4.2 million trees and shrubs in 1957. J A Gibbs regional forester announced the plan. The piece discusses evergreen firethorn inkberry rhododendrons and mountain laurel as garden and landscape options for various Ohio conditions.
Gibbs notes Plantlogy programs in 1935 1936 protect thousands of acres in Ohio by reducing erosion. Farm woodlands support soil conservation and offer supplementary income to farmers while supplying fence posts and fuel. Grazing protection remains essential to sustain woodlands under the Service program.
University expert Ivan McKellip urges applying Captain Smiths law in barns to cull low producing dairy cows. He argues higher milk prices would incentivize better returns, noting costs to feed and maintain low producers and the need to fatten or remove such cows to improve profitability. Records show dairy herds average four gallons daily, with current prices barely covering costs.
The Grange organization shows its size with about 112,000 members recently taking obligations before installation to Grange offices. Some 4,900 new masters have taken office in 1937, many promoted from subordinate stations, reflecting ongoing activity and growth across the rural fraternal order.
Emergency hay crops will be needed this year to supplement the short hay crop on many farms. L. E. Thatcher of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station notes no quick substitute for hay will be sown in spring and oats have not proven successful. He discusses top dressing, sowing sorbeans or Sudan grass after harvesting a small oat crop, and that soybean hay may be the best emergency feed.
